Topic: Dead link - john-tom.com (Read 2574 times)

I've been trying to find a copy of the plans for Elmer's horizontal wobbler engine (No. 25). I remembered seeing it on www.john-tom.com and even saved a bookmark to the site because of all the other good stuff on there. The site appears to have been down for a while. Such a shame if this site has gone with the wealth of interesting plans. A web search for the engine plans all point there. Does anyone know of any other site that has Elmer's plans?

Funny, I can ping www.john-tom.com and get a reply, but the address gives 503 error. A trick I learned years ago is to put the ip address returned by the ping into the browser, but that gives a 403 error, Forbidden. So, my guess, is that server is still there but having problems.

The pop up ads are very annoying though!! The download shown by CookieCrunch seems the best alternative for Elmer's plans, though I have the book, but I can print the pdf version more easily and the quality seems better than some of John-Toms scans.
